Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK)
The Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK) founded in 1982 is dedicated to the analysis of security policy challenges. Accordingly, the ISPK has set itself the task of contributing to the security policy discourse in Germany with policy- and practice-oriented, interdisciplinary research. The ISPK’s basic research focus lies on strategic issues in international relations in general and in German foreign and security policy in particular. In addition, specialized research departments (Maritime Strategy and Security, Asia-Pacific Strategy and Security, Conflict Analysis and Crisis Management, as well as Terrorism and Radicalization Studies) deal with selected topics that are among the most important challenges of international security policy today.
